Cleaned litter at Owens Beach and had a great time!

We met up today at Point Defiance Park to make our beautiful local park a better place.  With the help of grabbers and bags provided by Tacoma Metro Parks Chip-in! program, CBG marched strong up and down the beach and walkways at Owens Beach cleaning trash. We collected about 25 lbs of trash, a few pairs of underwear...., socks and plenty of cigarette butts. Most of the trash was thrown along the walkway, the beach was pretty clean of litter. We met a fellow sound cleaner, who was using a metal detector. At first we thought he was looking for treasure but after I tried to throw away his water bottle he'd left, we were able to chat about our activities. He was collecting batteries from the beach, he said he'd removed a TON from Alki Beach in Seattle. We met some cool people, saw some cute puppies and picked up some stinky litter!

Thanks everyone who helped out. Special thanks to awesome Denise for donating hotdogs and chips and goodies for everyone to enjoy after the clean up event!
